I just became a line cook about a month and a half ago
Ok, so I moved from dish to line cook not too long ago. I'm full time and my hours changed from 10-3 or 8-3 depending on stock days for dish to 10:30-7 and I love the job. But fuck does it hurt to walk or stand on my feet after sitting or laying down for a bit. I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and could give me some advice. I know it's something I just have to get used to and with time I'm sure it won't be as bad/go away completely. But right now, I refuse to sit down because I have to prep myself to stand up. Like mentally preparing myself. I've experienced a lot of physical pain in my life and this has got to be by far the worst type. But other than that I love the job especially the baking and the cooking. Prepping is kind of boring lol and for context I do work a retirement home idk if that changes anything, just thought I'd share that detail in case it does.
